Ref: 2006-03

Improved peptide and protein structural analysis by instrumental advances in mass spectrometry. Particularly, development and implementation of electron injection systems for ion-electron interaction in FT-ICR MS to increase the efficiency of electron capture dissociation (ECD) and associated techniques.

Requirements: M.Sc. in biochemistry, molecular biotechnology, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, technical physics or related discipline. Practical experience in the field of mass spectrometry and/or protein handling is an advantage. Computer knowledge preferably include programming skills, experience with ion/electron optics
calculations is an advantage. Candidates should be proficient in English (speaking and writing).

Application should include a CV, list of publications, names and contacts of 2-3 references, list of research interests.
